Extra services for Sheffield Marathon on 12th May 2013

Stagecoach Supertram are to operate early morning services again on Sunday 12^th May for the Sheffield Marathon after the success of operating them last year. The first trams will depart Halfway at 0612, Middlewood at 0623 and Meadowhall at 0701 and there will then be further extra trams from Middlewood and Meadowhall before the normal Sunday timetable kicks in. The start of the Marathon will be at the Don Valley Stadium and it is  hoped these extra services will allow competitors to get to the start line in plenty of time for the start of the race. Unlike the London Marathon any competitors will have to pay for their travel with the press release (which contains the wrong date of the race!) pointing them towards the excellent value of the Dayrider ticket.
